Top hotels in Santo Amaro
Tivoli Lagos
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So close to the train station and bus station if you decide to go back to Lisboa by bus (which is so much better than the train). Literally one minute walk to the bus station. It’s a resort NOT a hotel. The stuff is GREAT! Beatrice helped us a lot. The room is nice, breakfast ...
